built over. He said that as a rule op-

and that the express car was‘ an old
vestibule trolley and therefore higher 5
than the passenger. The reason that
the open cars are made lower, he said,
is for the accommodation of the pub-

Manager Chapman defined his du-

The landing at arms yesterday for
the Nationalists was carried out in
a more daring manner than similar
feats achieved by the Ulster Unionists
Volunteers. as it was elected in day-
light. The yacht from which the arms
5and ammunition were brought ashore
5nlroady had landed 2,590 rifles and
125,000 rounds of ammunition at iso-
lated points along the coast, and these
had been successfully distributed by
motor cars among the Nationalist Vol-
unteers. Yesterday’s attempt was un-
dertaken to show that the Nationalists
could do what the Ulster Unionists
had done. At Howth 2,500 rifles and
160,000 rounds of ammunition were
landed under the eyes of the police.
